title: General supportive care.
abstract: In addition to PAH-specific therapies proven to be effective in achieving a better outcome and/or symptomatic improvement, the care of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) requires a complex strategy that includes general pharmacological and non-pharmacological measures. This chapter will detail the general supportive measures beneficial for PAH patients as adjuvant treatment to targeted therapies.
